Nanomagnetic network structures and a method of reconfigurable operation based on magnetization dynamics
A nanomagnetic structure and a method of fabricating a nanomagnetic structure. The nanomagnetic comprises two or more nanomagnetic material elements, each nanomagnetic material element having a respective predetermined geometric shape such that the nanomagnetic structure exhibits different stable ground states initializable by magnetic fields applied across the nanomagnetic structure in respective different directions; wherein the nanomagnetic material elements are disposed relative to each other such that the magnetic structure exhibits a difference in effective internal magnetic field strength between the different stable ground states. Advantageously, this variation in the internal magnetic field strength is the key for distinct dynamic response associated with the different magnetic ground states. Reconfigurable operation has been shown based on this magnetization dynamics in example embodiments.
METHODS FOR PROGRAMMING AND ACCESSING DDR COMPATIBLE RESISTIVE CHANGE ELEMENT ARRAYS
A high-speed memory circuit architecture for arrays of resistive change elements is disclosed. An array of resistive change elements is organized into rows and columns, with each column serviced by a word line and each row serviced by two bit lines. Each row of resistive change elements includes a pair of reference elements and a sense amplifier. The reference elements are resistive components with electrical resistance values between the resistance corresponding to a SET condition and the resistance corresponding to a RESET condition within the resistive change elements being used in the array. A high speed READ operation is performed by discharging one of a row's bit lines through a resistive change element selected by a word line and simultaneously discharging the other of the row's bit lines through of the reference elements and comparing the rate of discharge on the two lines using the row's sense amplifier. Storage state data are transmitted to an output data bus as high speed synchronized data pulses. High speed data is received from an external synchronized data bus and stored by a PROGRAM operation within resistive change elements in a memory array configuration.
